Retake quiz after reviewing it - Captivate 9

Captivate 9 has Knowledge Check slides as well as normal Quiz slides. Maybe you'll need to use those KC slides? Here are some tips about them:

I also generally limit the number of quiz attempts to three, while also giving only single attempts on each quiz question. 

I've found that if the learner hasn't 'got it' after the third try then they usually need to go back and look at the content again to understand it better.  But if you keep the lessons short enough and your instructional design is sound, then three attempts should be more than enough.

Lots of people that are failing do so because they're rushing through and not reading the questions or answer options carefully.  And if those types of users even get a whiff of the fact that they could just Review the quiz and then plug in the correct answers, they'll do it.  You WANT them to slow down and do the material at a pace they can properly absorb. 

So just like there are speed humps in roads around your suburb to prevent hooligans from speeding, quizzes also need to be structured in such a way that learners have freedom to go at their own learning speed, but not take inadvisable shortcuts.

The bottom line here is that Captivate DOES allow learners to RETAKE a quiz to reattempt it.  And they can do so immediately, for as many times as the instructional designer has decreed should be possible before the quiz says "That's enough."  Captivate also allows learners to REVIEW their quiz to see where they succeeded or failed in their answers.

So if your regulatory organizations have required that the e-learning allow quizzes to be RETAKEN or REVIEWED, then Captivate would be totally compliant.

The sticking point here is that Captivate terminate all further allowed quiz attempts for that session if the learner opts to REVIEW.  And the design reasoning here is that it would allow cheating.  Now as an Instructional Designer myself, I also find some limitations Captivate imposes to be annoying.  But in this case, I tend to agree with the Software Architect (whoever he/she is). I think allowing this would encourage cheating, and I see a lot of adult learners VERY apt to do that.

I do not honestly believe any "Code of Federal Regulations" would be worded in such a way that it encourages or requires instructional designers to build quizzing so that it could easily be cheated.  I've worked for plenty of organizations and all of them are usually focused on getting VALID results from testing that gives a TRUE indication of whether or not the person indeed learned the material, not how cleverly they could circumvent the quizzing.

However, if you can show me (perhaps copy / paste here) the wording from any international regulations that do specify the quizzing should work the way you claim (allow the learner to REVIEW their quiz failed answers and then IMMEDIATELY retake the quiz to input those corrections) then I will acquiesce and admit that such organizations exist.

We are required to create quizes with this functionality as it is mandated by a government regulatory agency that they function in this manner. It can not be that difficult for Adobe to implement.
